"Hell, I'll kill a man in a fair fight... or if I think he's gonna start a fair fight, or if he bothers me, or if there's a woman, or if I'm gettin' paid - mostly only when I'm gettin' paid." - Jayne, Firefly

"I am like a being thrown from another planet on this dark terrestrial ball, an alien, a pilgrim among its possessors." - Thomas Carlyle

notes (favourites 2024)
  • Black market bioengineers. Most of them have day jobs, like drug dealers, but a handful of them sustain themselves just off of unlocking and locking devices - tracking devices, nanotech, removal of body mods, etc.
    • Microchip surgeons - put them in, take them out.
      • legally, or illegally.
      • want to microchip someone personally, because you can't hack the gov't network and find out where they're at? there are nanobots that will enter them orally or through any of their body cavities. You just need to sync them with a receiver.
    • Body mods - for the illegal sex market. Not always done on the willing.
  • Corner market clerks
    • Selling Space Candy and Good Old Fashioned Alcohol.
    • Selling uppers. The tireless slog of 70 hour workweeks is wearing you ragged. You feel dull, as though you are losing yourself and becoming less intelligent. There is no time to read, to dance, to socialize with real humans - only corporate automatons. Time to dose up and keep making that paper.
    • Selling downers. The city is too noisy. You need to sleep before you fly out. Also, the earthquakes are problematic and keep you up. And the raids downstairs are a nightmare.
